Marillion Sucked! they were pretty much Booed off the stage in Chicago, everyone was cheering "Rush, Rush, Rush" during there set. Someone lit a flame with an aerosal can , It was Great. Power Windows, still my favorite Rush concert. Saw them in Buffalo for that tour. I thought they were awesome. Same tour, Steve Morse opened in Rochester.

Power Windows, still my favorite Rush concert. I can verify this. They were a steaming pile of fecal matter. I recall the lead singer in a Kimono saying "I"m so wasted" or somethign like that. He sang that as they are lyrics from a song on misplaced childhood. Idiot. As far as best support act seen-Max Webster at Manchester Apollo 79. Would have loved to see Marillion open for them tho!

Liked Steve Morse and really liked listening to Paul Gilbert play guitar with Mr. Big, even if the band was less than stellar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skoorbnek Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 We saw Eric Johnson open for Rush in Cleveland. We also had no idea who he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushman14 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) UFO opened for them during AFTK tour in '77, by far the best. Pat Travers during the Hemi tour didnt suck either. Edited June 19, 2012 by Rushman14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briremo Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 My favorite was Candlebox by far. Didn't know who they were, nor did the entire crowd, but by the end of the set the place was rocking, Tommy Shaw was great too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg2112 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Primus was very cool on the RTB tour... Im probably in the minority here, but wouldnt mind seeing a good opener this tour. Its not happening, but can you imagine, say, the Pumpkins? That would be outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 QUOTE (CrimsonE @ Jun 19 2012, 05:55 AM) One band I thought would be cool to open for them in 1990 was a quasi-supergroup called Bad English, which had John Waite, Neil Schon and Jonathan Cain. Unfortunately, that never happened Oh god no! I couldn't imagine them playing When I See You Smile a mere hour or so before La Villa Strangiato hit the stage. I like Schon and Cain well enough but jeez, Bad English was one step away from being that shit pop band Glass Tiger. Naturally, imho. Primus was my favorite Rush opener. And I was pleasantly surprised by Candlebox. The crowd dug them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIDE-ANGLE WATCHER Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I believe I saw .38 Special open on the Hemisphere Tour in San Diego... Not my favorite but not mention yet? I liked Primus and Gary Moore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottT67 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I remember the last band that open for Rush ( If memory Serves) I didn't catch their act, but I do recall there being a flap between older Rush fans, and younger Primus fans. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise, because it spawned: "An entire Evening with Rush" I remember hearing the Fabulous Thunderbirds from the Pacific Amphitheatre in Costa Mesa: "Ain't that tough enough?" And the only really impressive opening act I can remember for Rush, was with out a doubt, Golden Earring! - I have a memory of the drummer jumping over his drumset after they finished there last song ( He clipped his snare, but kept his balance). Great Showmanship. And I remember they were tight live! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they ditched the videos and drum solo they'd probably be able to play the same amount of songs that they currently play in 2.5 hours and have an opener. I'd have no problem with this but the band probably needs an intermission so its not likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todem Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Candlebox no question. Still love that band....they have made 5 great records. And I have become personal friends with the band over the past few years. Great guys, great players and songwriters. See them live if they come to your town. They put on a hell of a show.

They are incredible live. Just them in Tampa and Orlando a month or so ago. I think Kevin Martin is one of the best frontmen in the business and Peter Klett is a BAMF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
